I had a manual te magna before the skyline and used these guys, they knew there stuff but i had a feeling i was paying way to much as i knew bugger all back then. They charged me over $2000 for a stock clutch replacement plus clutch hydrolics. Looking back i was definetly ripped off.

What car do you have, if its a mitsubishi then they are very knowledgable on mods and stuff.

However they (Dave) will rip you off if he gets a chance.

They are very good just be vary is all, i was a member of the aussiemagna club and i heard of other members been sold second hand stuff and paying and being told the goods were new regulary.

I hope my comments are in the rules i am assuming they are ok as RPW have nothing to do with skylineaustralia. Apologies otherwise

hmmm ..just be careful.

check out www.ozvr4.com

They are regulars on there and can talk up some bull ca ca

Thanks for your input, I have a 1978 Datsun Skyline that has a crate NISMO motor , L28 bored to 3.0L with triple 45mm webers and a 1/2 rally cam. Japanese intake manifold and jap extractors which may also be NISMO items. I'm just looking to get my triple webers tuned ,so there won't be many parts supplied, only labour and dyno time. Thanks Rick.

Take it some where else, dont let them touch anything other then mitsi / hyundai / crysler

There are heaps more knowledgable, realiable cheaper workshops for nissans then them. Try the consolidated workshop thread heaps to choose from. I highly recommend hyperdrive out of all those

Thanks everyone for your remarks, sorry to hear people have had bad experiences. I've been there done that too. Had a guy in Kalgoorlie(when I lived there) charge me over $500 for weber tune and they were still CRAP, was I pissed. Anyway luck has it I've tracked down a guy called Daryll who once owned Automotive Tuning Centre in Welshpool. He used to service this car when it did sprints at Wanneroo and once a year I'd bring it to Perth for him to service it. He's retired but has kept all is equipment and is going to look at them next week. Yahoo, at least i know what I can expect. Nothing worse than going to pick up your car, they hand you the bill not looking for your facial expressions, inside your saying "what the f..."and you drive away feeling RIPPED OFF no wonder ya get busted for hoon driving 2 minutes later. Sorry officer, I was just venting my blow off valve before i exploded. Enough said I think.

Lookout for my old skool dato once Woopass Wed starts up again as i intend to take it quite regularly.

Just got to apply some decent paint.Chow.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
